According to Archimedes' principle, the mass of a floating object equals the mass of the fluid displaced by the object. A 150-lb

m swimmer is floating in nearby pool; 95% of her body's volume is in the water while 5% of her body's volume is above water. Determine the density of the swimmer's body The density of water is 0.036 lbm/in5. Does your answer make sense?? Why why not?

Answer:

The density of the swimmer is 0.0342 lbm/in3.

This value makes sense as the density of the body is very similar to the water.

Explanation:

If the swimmers is floating, the weight of the swimmer must be equal to the upward buoyant force.

We can express the weight force as the product of density and volume of the swimmer.

Then

\rho_{swimmer}*V_{swimmer}=\rho_{water}*V_{water_displaced}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}*V_{swimmer}=\rho_{water}*0.95**V_{swimmer}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.95*\rho_{water}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.95*0.036 lbm/in3\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.0342lbm/in3

It makes sense as the density of the body is very similar to the water.

guys please help me WILL MARK BARINLIEST If you have 5.7 x 10^24 molecules of O2 at STP, how many liters of O2 do you have? must
zmey [24]

Answer:

212.8 dm^3 or L

Explanation:

1 mole of any sub=6.02×10^23 molecules

X mole of O2=5.7×10^24 molecules

X mole=5.7×10^24/6.02×10^23

=9.5 mole

1 mole of any gas at stp=22.4 dm^3

Therefore, 9.5 mole of O2 will be 22.4×9.5

=212.8 dm^3
